Standard Information
For the lightning protection equipments manufacturers

The international and european EN IEC 62561 : standard: Lightning

Protection System Components, specifies the requirements to apply
when manufacturing lightning protection components.

The standard is composed of the following parts:

EN IEC 62561-1 : Connection components
EN IEC 62561-2 : Conductors and earth electrodes
EN IEC 62561-3 : Isolating spark gaps
EN IEC 62561-4 : Conductors fasteners
EN IEC 62561-5 : Earth electrode inspection housing and seals
EN IEC 62561-6 : Lightning strike counters (LSC)

To obtain the certifications of its products according to 62561-1 and 2,

MALTEP succesfully worked in association with the ELEMKO laboratory
(Accreditation : 3051.01).

Early streamer emission (ESE) air terminal

Early streamer emission (ESE) terminal with 60μsec. triggering advance time (Δt).
The strike tip and the high voltage control section are made of stainless steel. The ESE significantly
reduce the charge particles ionization process in comparison with standard standard lightning
rods. With a total length of 2150mm, its high voltage control section is 1500mm. It is delivered
with its collar for an easy mounting on either a 30mm tape or a 8mm dia. round conductor. The
ESE complies with the NCF17-102:2011 standard
